Frequently asked questions
Is Watermelon & Vitamin C Face Wash Gel fragrance-free?
No added fragrance or EU-labelled fragrance allergens were detected in Watermelon & Vitamin C Face Wash Gel's listed ingredients. "Not detected" isn't an absolute guarantee, but it's a good sign for fragrance-sensitive skin — confirm against the current pack and your own triggers.
Is Watermelon & Vitamin C Face Wash Gel paraben-free?
